RECORD-BOOK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 11- 1906. Serial No. 347.253-

Patented Feb. 11, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK 0. KING, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Aitkin, in the county of Aitkin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved Record-Book, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention has for its object to provide a time book, register, class book or other book of record, in which may be readily recorded a plurality of names or articles, together with a record of summaries and averages connected therewith arranged on opposite pages. This I accomplish by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the views, and in which Figure 1 is a plan of opposite pages of a record book embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical section, partly broken away, of one of the pages of the book taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a plan of the back of a detachable leaf adapted to be at tached to one of the pages of the book embodying my invention.

As illustrated in the drawings, 1 and 2 represent opposite pages of a record book having longitudinal rulings 3 extending across said pages. The second page and the right hand portion of the first page are provided with vertical rulings 4, leaving a horizontally ruled column at the left of the first page, in which may be written a list of names or articles. The vertical rulings 4 divide page 2 and the left hand portion of page 1 into a series of spaces arranged longitudinally and registering with the names or articles contained in the margin on the left hand of page 1. These spaces are also arranged in vertical series by means of the rulings 4 and may be appropriately designated for the special purposes for which they are in tended. Thus, the vertical series of spaces on the right hand of page 1 may be designated by the days of the week, and the vertical columns on page 2 may be numbered consecutively torecord the summaries and averages corresponding with the time col- Insert leaves 5 are provided with horizontal rulings 3 and vertical rulings 4, and they are also provided with a gummed under left hand margin 6 adapted to be attached to page 1, with the horizontal and vertical rulings of said leaves registering with the corresponding rulings of the main page. When one insert leaf has become filled, another may be pasted on the face thereof, and such operation continued as desired. The inner portion of the leaves are provided at the top and bottom with apertures 7 adapted to receive eyelets 8, to which are attached elastic bands 9 which extend over the free edges of the insert leaves and hold them compactly together.

By means of such construction, where a record is to be kept covering a considerable period of time, the record will always be 0 posite the name of the person or article, an the summaries or averages will be grouped within a limited space directly before the eye. The gummed margin on the insert leaves makes it possible to attach these leaves quickly to the book, so that when one insert leaf is full another may be. instantly placed directly above it, and the record of the same names or articles continued without rewriting the names thereof. Whenever it .is found necessary to refer to the record on the first main page or on any of the insert leaves which may be attached to it, the retaining band may be removed for such purpose.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. Arecord book having oppositelydisposed pages, one of which is provided with a marginal main column and minor columns arranged p arallel therewith, divided by horizontal rulings, the opposite page being provided with a series of vertical minor columns parallel with the minor columns of the first page, and divided by horizontal rulings registering with the corresponding rulings of the first page, insert leaves having a gummed edge adapted to be attached to the first page, and provided with minor columns, and horizontal rulings registering with the horizontal rulings of the second page, and means for clamping the free edge of said insert leaves, substantially as shown and described.

2. A record book having oppositely disposed pages, one of which is provided with a marginal main colunm and minor columns parallel therewith, divided by horizontal rulings, the opposite page having a series of minor columns arranged parallel with the corresponding columns of the first page, and divided by horizontal rulings registering with the corresponding rulings of the first page, insert leaves provided-with an adhesive edge adapted to be attached to the first page at the right of the main column, and provided with minor columns corresponding with those of the first page and divided by horizontal rulings registering with the corresponding rulings of the second page, and an elastic band secured to the first page and adapted to overlap the edges of the leaves, substantially as shown and described.

3. A record book having oppositely disposed leaves, one of which is provided with a main column and a series of minor columns arranged parallel therewith, divided by horizontal rulings, the opposite page havin a series of minor columns arranged parallel with the corresponding columns of the first page, and insert leaves provided with an adhesive edge adapted to be attached to the first page at the right of the marginal column and provided with minor columns having horizontal rulings corresponding with the minor columns and rulings of the first page, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FREDERICK 0. KING.
